    You may find that some VM sizes are unavailable as there is currently high demand for VMs in certain regions (this is especially true for free account VM sizes). The solution is to create your VM resources in neighboring regions during these periods of high demand. If you are having trouble finding a region, please create a thread here on Microsoft Q&A and we will be happy to assist you.

    What this looks like
    There are two scenarios that are being reported. Both of these are due to high VM demand in certain regions that may result in some VM sizes being unavailable.

    No VM images are available from the dropdown giving an "The value must not be empty" error.

    Attempting to select B1s results in the NotAvailableForSubscription error.

    What is Microsoft doing to avoid capacity issues in the future?
    Ensuring capacity for our customers is a top priority for Microsoft and we are working around the clock to deliver on this. The increasing demand for Azure services is evidence of the popularity of Azure, and emphasizes the need to scale up our infrastructure even more rapidly. With that in mind, we are expediting expansion and are improving our resource deployment process to respond to this strong customer demand. We have identified several improvements on how we load-balance under a high resource usage situation, and how to trigger the timely deployment of needed resources. Furthermore, we are increasing our capacity significantly – and will continue to plan for strong customer demand across all of our regions. This September 2021 blog post covers improvements towards delivering a resilient cloud supply chain.

    Hello,
    I am having the same issue with a newly created azure account. For a standard D2 most regions are unavailable. Some work such as Australia, Sweden, North Europe...
    However if I use an existing azure account I can create a VM in any region I want.
    Looking at the suggestions above it must be something with the new account. Does anyone have a suggestion?

    This article describes how to resolve errors when a SKU isn't available in an Azure subscription's region or availability zones. Examples of resource SKUs are virtual machine (VM) size or storage account types. Errors occur during deployments with an Azure Resource Manager template (ARM template) or Bicep file. The error also occurs with commands like New-AzVM or az vm create that specify a size parameter for a SKU that's not available.

    Hi everyone! I’m facing with the same issue. I am not able to create free compute resources in my new trial subscription.
    Now I just wanna clarify, because I'm don't have any other existed subscription I have no chance to create free compute resources?
